He organized the Standard Bank of Minneapolis, and later the People's bank, of which he was vice-president and manager. He was also vice-president of the Merchants bank of St. Cloud, Minn. Health Forced Change Later he consolidated his banking interests with others, forming the Northwestern Na tional Bank of Minneapolis which developed into the great Northwest Bancorporation, with branches extending to the the Pacific coast, and of which his life-long friend, E. W. Decker, became president. In 1005, Mr. Getchell, advised by his physician and friend, Dr. G. G. Eitel, to seek a milder cli mate, began spending part of each winter in Los Angeles. In Pasadena he met Miss Alicellc Clure, who was spending a vaca tion there from school in New York, and the resulting romance was culminated by their mar riage in 1008. They decided to establish a home in Pasadena and while en route there from the east in 1009 Mr. and Mrs. Getchell) stopped off In Medford to make an investment and were per suaded to take up their resi dence here. Cited For Service Mr. Getchell was prevailed upon to take over the Farmers and Fruitgrowers bank, assum ing the presidency. Earlier suc cesses in banking which saw him, the youngest bank presi dent in Minneapolis, guide two institutions of that city through the panic of 1893-5 when four teen others closed their doors, were repeated here. Mr. Getchell took great pride in the fact that during the world war, his bank bought more Liberty bonds per capita than any other bank in the United States. For his patriotic efforts in this instance he re ceived a medal from the govern ment. Always thoughtful of the wel fare of his bank patrons and members of his staff, his wise counsel and sympathetic interest were outstanding factors in his business career. He loved books and was prob ably one of the best read men of the valley, his preference run ning to history and Shakespeare. Mr. Getchell achieved a measure of literary distinction, chiefly in poetry, a gift inherited from his mother. He was widely known as the "Banker Poet," a title affectionately bestowed by Ar thur Perry, Mail Tribune col umnist. Survivors Live Here Besides his widow, Mr. Getchell Is survived by a son Bayard M. Getchell, a daughter Valerie Gloria Getchell, and two' grandchildren, Philip Armour and Ruth Diana Getchell, all of whom reside here. Father William B. Hamilton, of Yreka, Cal., former rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church here, and long-time friend of the deceased, will officiate at funeral services to be h-ld Mon day at 2 p. m., at the Getchell residence, 1121 South Oakdale avenue.

ALL COMING WEEK ACCOUNT OF FLO Because of the current flu epi demic, which has chopped nor mal enrollment almost in half, St. Mary's academy and high school will not open Monday, and will remain closed for one week or until November 27, it was announced yesterday. A Sister at St. Mary's ex plained that about 90 of the 180 students were confined to their homes Friday with the flu or bad colds. She said the school would reopen on November 27 unless a large percentage of the remaining well students came down with the disease. Superintendent of City Schools E. H. Hedrick spiked rumors that any of the city in stitutions would close because of the epidemic. He said that the peak of the epidemic ap parently was over and that "there has been no thought of closing any of the schools." Friday, 617 or approximately 25 percent of the public school students were absent, but the number who were ill was slowly but steadily decreasing. Dr. L. D.
